WISH YOU WERE HERE

By now Fivepenny Piece had established their house style and were churning out albums with increased confidence.  This 1975 offering mixes as usual serious observations with some Lancashire humour.  The title track is a sing-a-long anthem to the British seaside holiday whilst 'Stalybridge Station' became another firm favourite of the huge following the group had amassed.
